Something is likely to be heard here
in the next tew months about a legal
contest in the English courts over the
possessions of Eirl Howe which are
said to be vilued t from $100000.-
000 f $150000000. Two gentle-
men arrived in this country the other
day by the A'aska and are at the New
York hotel who have the ease in
han.d for the plaintiff in )he contest
and who have come here to trace line-
age and gather family records and the
Jike from alleged heirs of the estate
living in this country There are said
to be about 130 of these persons
mainly residents of the Southern states.
1 he platnufTin the case is Benjamin
Willis and the lawyers who have come
over ta work up the American end of
the case are Nicholas Moody and Hen-
ry Bouchette. This estate has been in
litigation for nearly a century. The
case long ago became so famous in
England that it was used as a subject for
a novel by Wilkie Collins and lurnished
Dickens the subject for the celebreted
case of jarndyce and Jarndyce in 'Bleak
House-'
The. property in litigation belonged
to William jennes who died in Lon-
don in 1708. He was a money-lender
and the richest commoner in Eutonc
at the time. It waif not long after his
death when the courts were asked to
take charge of the estate and from
that time various suits were brought
ail intended 10 recover the properly
frpra the people who had taken poses-
sioq of it who have since become
titled. All suits were fruitless so far
as the plaitnifis were concerned and
such decsions as were rendered invar-
iably favoicl the defendants. The
case has now been re-opened on the
alleged discovery of new evidence.
Papers were served on Earl Howe in
August aJ HMMfdiately afterwards
the attorneys suited to this coualry
to c6Mccl evidence. The suit is
brought to recover not only the estate
of Earl Hoe but also to take from
him his title on the ground that it was
obtained by the use of money fraud
ulently obtained.
A summary of the case as presented
by the attorneys (or the pUintiff shows
that soon after the death of Jerihes
Sophia Charlotte Curzon afterwards
the Baroness Howe to poscision of
Jennt's property on behalf of her son
George Agustus William Curzon as
heir-at-law of William Jennes. The
child died in 1805. It is claimed that
a child not her son was then put fori
ward by her as the heir of the estate
She said that he was a younger broth
er. His name Was given as R'chard
William Penn Curzon. The new evi-
dence discovered upon which the case
is re-opened goes to show that the
alleged younger son was not really a
member of the family at all but was
the child qf Ann Oakes a spinster
This child on becoming of age in 8at
was created Earl Howe. The present
Earl is the third in line.
It is alleged on behalf of the plaintiff
that all three Earls have known the
truth .in this matter and have conceal-
ed it. There is said to be evidence
that in trying to conceal the truth they
have not hesitated to deface grave-
stone inscriptions and to destroy par-
ish and village records.
The alleged new evidence appears
to have come to light through the
daughter of Ann Oakes who wrote a
letter in 1879 to the uncle of Benja-
mine Willis the plaintiff in which she
said that her mother had acknowledged
before she died that the original Etrl
Howe was her son and had been sub-
stituted for the son of Sophia Charlotte
Curzon for the purpose of securing
JennesV propeity. In 1879 the pres-
ent plaintiff was thirteen years old.
When he reached the age of twenty-o.-.e
years he began to make inquiries upon
the subject of this letter and these
inquiries ha.c resulted in tnb. present
suit.
The estate of the Earl of Howe con-
sists of Action Place Chasfieid Buhner
and Cavendish in the county of Suffolk-
property in Birmingham and elsewhere
tn the count)' of Warwick and valuable
possessions in the counties Essex and
Leicester. In the litigation that has
taken place fortunes have been sunk
by claimants.
An American woman living in Phil-
adelphia is said to hav spent $30000.
which was all she possessed in pushing
on her suit. A man named Willis not
the present plaintiff became so much
wdrked up over what he regarded as
his rights that he took forcible posses-
sion of one of the estates and proceed-
ed to demonstrate his claim as owner
by cutting down some handsome trees
on the grounds. A suit for damage
and trespass was brought against him
and he was heavily mulcted.
It is said that there is evidence to
prove that George III. received a hand-
some honorarium for bestowing the title
of Earl Houve upon the young man
whom Mrs Curzon claimed as her son.
This title had lapsed some'years before
by the death of the person in whom it
was vested he leaving no male heir
and it is said to have been revived for
this young man The New York
Times.
Tbe Przes of literary Work.
When not long ago a statement was
made in The Author that there were
filty men and women Tn Great Britain
apd the states who were making
jiooo and upward by vriting
novels the statement was received
with derisive laughter. Fifty novelists
making 1000 a year? Impossible!
Preposterous! The statement how-
ever was made by one who knew
what he was saying. It is a true
statement; it represents the real prizes
of the profession.
There are in Iondon alone it is
said 15.000 people who in some
branch or other exercise the literary
profession. Fifty of them by writing
novels make over 1000 a year
The number of men wiio actually live
by the production of Original work
apart from journalism in any of its
brancnes is comparatively small.
There are half' a dozen dramatists;
about a hundred novelists; a few suc
cessful writers of educational books
which are indeed a mine of wealth if
one can succeed and a few publishers'
hacks. The greatest prizes are those
of the dramatists Walter Besant in
Forum.
A Question.
Mr. Editor: Someofus"hay.eeds"
would like to know a few things about
politics and thought you might be able
to tell us. But first we will tell you
what we want:
We want corporatibns especially
railroads controlled and compelled to
treat the people right when they are
not disposed to do this of their own
accord.
We want a railroad commission: we-
want alien ownership of land regulated;
we want uniform text-books; we want
everything done that will help us re-
due taxes because they come heav.
ing on us fellows who have to jet the
wherewith to pay our taxes by the
sweat of ihe brow;" we want our land
titles to be stronger and more certain
than the government itself; we want the
constitution obeyed to the letter both
My the governor and the people. Now
what wc want to know Mr. Editor is
this: DO you think Mr. Hogg is a
good man to secure these things for Us?
We are inclined to have an opinion of
our own about this and wo are afuid
he is not the man but wc may be
wrong you know.
What has he done that entitles him
to our confidence! What has h'l ac-
complished during his office career to
cpmmend him to us!
He promised all these thing! two nr
three times before but has he perform-
ed his promises Mr. Editor? "To a
man up a tree" it looks like he had not.
We grant that the governor has per-
haps done some good things and per-
haps his intentions are all right but it
stems to us that his1 failures have far
outnumbered his successes. In fact it
seems to us that the number of his
shortcomings is ridiculously large for
the govemer of a great state like Tex-
as. His' failures have been due to ig-
norance design or carelessness. If to
the first two of course ho honest man
wants him again. If to the. last which
I suspect is the cause how do we
know he ha- improved in his habits of
care? May he not overlook important
constitutional rules again and entail
great Ibss on us?
His ideas seem to be good enough
tn some cases but it strikes us that he
has a very blundering way of putting
them into execution. He has the
greatest tendency to run up against the
constitution of cny governor we ever
heard of.
Away back yonder when he was nrst
attorney-general he tried to impeach
a district judge but failed then he
pitched Into the drummers and I heard
the judges of the supreme court say he
he did make a great physical effort
but was sent home a waer man. He
then wen: at the railroads and perhaps
did save a few acres of cactus but un-
settled the titles to more land than he
recovered.
Wherever he heard rumors of any-
thing out of which there was a possi-
bility o making a case that would
bring him notoriety he waded in and
got "livked" nearly every time.
Then often blowing around about
putting Jay Gould and Huntington in
stripes we elected him governor but I
haven't heard cf Jay changing the
color of his clothes vet. I think Hogg
was "talking with his mouth" when he
said that anyway.
I almost forgot to mention how he
jarred up the earth and tore his hair in
opposition to receiving the new capitol
but it was received "all the same" by
honest Sul Ross too.
We farmers had our hearts set on a
railroad commission that would be ef-
fective and at the same time constitu-
tional but what have we now? Why
Hogg simply over-did the thing and it
won't even hold down good stocks
and bonds much less wind and water.
When if he had given less attention to
the i's and t's and more to the consti-
tution our hopes might have been realized.
It is worthy of remark that after the'
court had "knocked out" the commis-
sion the governor has the goodness to
inform us that he always obeys the
courts. What loyal citizenship doth
this our governor show! We should
like to see the color of the man's hair
who don't obey courts in this country.
Again through his carelessness our
long hoped for text book bill went a
glimmering. But of all the fool things
done by this administration the neg
lect to comply with the constitution
in forming the alien hnd law is the
greatest especially when we lefldct
that it was signed by a great (?) consti-
tutional lawer as governor ana one who
dotes so on the constitution and aliens
are still running the country. Another
infamy we hold him responsible for
as the raid on the sacred school fund
by means of the Jester amendment
Future generations will execrate his
memory unless this wrong is righted.
Howany sane governor influenced
by patriotic motives could refuse the
suiar bounty is more than we are able
tounderstand. It is true the money is
taen from us unjustly to pay this
bounty but it is certainly some mitiga-
tion ofthe evils we endure to have a
part of the money returned. The gov.
ernor's refusal to receive the bounty
don't prevent it from being taken from
Us. If a thief should break into the
trtasury building at Austin and steal
a part of the people's tmney I wonder
if the good governor would be undem-
ocratic enough to get a part of it back
if he could or would he want us to
make up the deficit? It seems that he
don't know enough about the constitu-
tion to make legal appointments par-
ticularly during a recess of the senate.
The fact that Texas' governor did not
Know uiat the constitution required
his dd interim appointments to be sent
to the senate within ten days U a re-
proach to every citizen. He should
be given a copy of the constitution and
a good man like Clark or some 2x4
judge put over him with a birch rod to
see that he studied it. Now Mr Edi
tor if vou think there has been any
change in the governor for good ptease
let us know if you think he is a safe
man and that he will do all that he
promises to do hereafter and that he
will know the constitution by the time
the legislature meets. If you think
that he won't fly ofT at a (argent and
make more bad breaks please let us
know and we will vole accordingly.
Or if we have not heard the straight
(ale About all this please enlighten us
before the election. F. C.

A ditpatch from ISfew York sajs:
Prof. Johnson the snake charmer of
Hubcr's museum by his neglect nearly
lost hishfe. A big boa which arrived
from Liberia in Africa two months
ago has been in Prof. Johnson's special
charge and among the duties imposed
uton the professoi was to give the big
snake a cold bath two or three times a
week This was bathing day. The
snake which is sixteen feet long( yras
lifted from the glass cage in which it is
exhibited and placed in a tub of c6l4
water. A cover Vras put over the tub
and the snake cleaned. After the
cover hadbeen removed from the bath
tub it was noticed -that the boa lifted
his head with.sqrae show of jrapatjeocei
The big fellow ha'd to much of a ba(h
and was cross. Professor Johnson
knew this as soon as he 'took hold of
the boa's head to lift it out pf the tub.
He at once called to Professor Miller
(he wire king to help him lift the snake
and wipe it at the same time. Profes-
sor Johnson lifted its head up as high
as he could to the right of his own
head but there was some slack of the
snakes body between Johnson's hold
and Miller's hold and as both held
firm they gave it a brace The boa
pressed that slack around Johnson's
right arm and began wobbling so that
Miller lost his hold and let go. The
boa crossed itself over Johnson's
chest got a wrap around his left arm
and made to complete turns around
his left leg. Johnson was senseless.
Other men working in the room ran up
and got the boa loose from Johnson
and put it in the cage. Johnson went
to his home and declared that he had
ended his career as a snake charmer.
Despite the doctor's assertion to the
contrary Johnson thinks one of his
ribs is broken.
Glaciers. '
Glaciers plunge into the sea in many
cold countries and perish by drowning
their dismembered remains floating
away as berges. But their end is by
dissolution where the annual mean
temperature rises considerably above
the freezing point. At some- certain
level they melt faster than they can
flow and so terminate.
The level indeed is a fluctuating one.
Icelandic glaciers are now steadily ad-
vancing. Swiss glaciers according to
M. Forel have undergone during the
present century five alternating periods
of diminution and growth.
The meteorological changes occa-
sioning and emphasized by these osc-
illations are very slight. Their char-
acter however is unmistakable and
such as might have been anticipated.
That is to say glacial decrease accom-
panies a warm and dry cycle; glacial
increase and that is damp and cold.
Without one additional decree of
cold it is conceivable that a persistently
augmented deposit of snuw upon the
Gerstenhorner and the Schneestock al-
though otherwise scarcely perceptible
might enable the Rhone glacier to
overwhelm Brieg.
But this would be an exceedingly
small step toward the restoration of a
lormer state 01 things when an ice
stream close upon 350 miles in length
starting from the same source crossed
the frozen or nonexistent lake of Ge-
neva and debouched by Culoz Upon
Lyons. Without severe cold as well as
heavy precipitation ice could not pos-
sibly have gained to great an ascend-
ancy. And this was no local phe-
nomenon it was simultaneously pre-
valent over widely separated tracts

A pigeon fancier of Hamme in
Westphalia made a wager that a doz
en bees liberated three miles Jrom their
hives would reach it in better time than
a dozen pigeons would reach their cote

titors were given wing at Rhynhern a
village nearly a league from Hamme
and the first bee finjshtd a quarter of a
minute before the first pigeon three
other bees reached the goal before the
second pigeon and the main body of
both detachments finished almost sim
1 ultaneously an instant or two later. The
bees too may be said to have been

. Tobacco.
The ne visible effect of the increas-
ed duties on tobacco is a deterioration
in the quality of the five and ten cent
cigars. It is not yet demonstrated that
prices have advanced to growers of
domestic wrapper while the deteriora-
tion of quality the oppression of small
manufacturers and the reduction uf
cigarmakers' wages in many cases
through enhancement of the prite pf
the raw material are conspicuous.
The illusory claims of advantage to
the grower do not offset in the general
estimate the loss to the smoker the
small manufacturer and the tobacco
workman. E'mlra. Gazette
